From the first bite to the last crumb, Just Say Cheesecake delivered a total knockout. Pure perfection.

We recently visited Bloom & Rose and had a fun time sampling our way through the menu. We ordered…read moresix different knishes, matzo ball soup, and kugel, giving us a chance to try a little bit of everything. The standout items were definitely the matzo ball soup and the kugel, both of which were outstanding. Among the knishes, our favorites were the potato, onion, and cheese varieties, while the pastrami was also quite good. The mushroom knish wasn't really for us, but with so many options, that's bound to happen. One thing we really enjoyed was the setting. Bloom & Rose is located inside a large warehouse-style food hall filled with a variety of small restaurants and vendors offering everything from Jamaican and Asian cuisine to BBQ and more. It created a fun atmosphere and made the whole experience feel a bit like a food tour. The staff was friendly, and the food came out quickly. We'd definitely return, especially for another bowl of that matzo ball soup.

I went to Romeo's Bakery on Hertel for the first time around 7pm, and by now I had already had…read moredinner so I came out for dessert. I ordered 2 of their Italian wedding cookies (which was very good), but I had a tough time deciding on which cakes. After some questions/answer session, I finally decided on some flaky custard pastry and a cup of coffee, along with the cookies. I paid for my ordered and even though we didn't require table service, I still tipped the kid behind the counter. Afterwards, we went outside with our order since the weather was nice this evening. After sitting down, I had cut into my dessert, and started tasting the custard which was very good. Then I picked up a piece of the pasty, and the pastry was too soft to be flaky and at the same time, too hard to chew. Essentially, the pastry was stale. Immediately, I said to my friend, "I don't like this dessert it's very hard to chew". She said she comes here all the time and it's not supposed to be like that, so she tasted it and then suggested I go in and ask to exchange it for a different dessert. I took my dessert in, almost completely whole and the kid behind the counter asked if anything was wrong with it. I told him that since this is my first time having it, I'm not sure how it's SUPPOSED to taste so honestly, I wasn't able to pinpoint exactly what was wrong with it but I did ask if I could exchange it for another dessert? He tells me, well since there's nothing wrong with it, he couldn't do an even exchange, so I'd have to buy a new dessert. I told him, forget it and he can throw out my dessert. I left it on the counter for him to trash, and walked out. So now I'm very upset. Not only did you sell me this STALE piece of pastry, but now you're unwilling to fix the problem. Furthermore, if a customer is willing to trash the entire dessert, almost whole, don't you THINK there could possibly be something wrong with it? It seems like this very simple common sense thought process never took place with this kid. My friend was waiting for me outside, and she was adamant that there was something wrong with the dessert so she went inside to talk to them again. She tells them that she comes here all the time, and that there is something wrong with the dessert. This time, they admitted that maybe the dessert sat in the fridge for too long and then they gave her an exchange dessert! Why did it take two complaints for you to correct the problem? I was so upset with their lack of common sense customer service, I will NEVER come back here for anything ever again. Based on the reviews, they may be known for their desserts, but my dessert was stale, and their service was lacking. There are plenty of other businesses on Hertel that can give me much better service, and UN-STALE pastries.

Such a fun way to celebrate gratitude, friendship, and, of course, cake. And this cake did not disappoint! We had so much fun anticipating what the flavor of the month would be. Since I'm a fan of cream cheese frosting, my friend requested that it be put in the middle, which I loved. The cake itself wasn't overly sweet, had a wonderfully tender crumb, the perfect tartness from the lemon, and was topped with big, fresh blackberries. Already looking forward to doing this again!

We went for brunch and while it seemed busy, the service was excellent and the food matched it. My wife got the Pork Belly Hash which contained pork belly, two eggs over easy, diced potatoes, and sautéed peppers and onions, along with an iced mocha. She stated the food and coffee were excellent. I went with the Blue Eyed Classic which was scrambled eggs (perfectly creamy and fluffy), a sausage patty, diced potatoes, and sourdough toast with butter, along with a cold brew. It hit the spot. Everything we had was excellent, and we'll likely be back if we're in the area. Highly recommend if you're in East Aurora and want a solid breakfast spot with a great vibe.
